Just bumping this thread up because we wouldn't want any of these last minute newbies to miss out on the initiation, uh, I mean fun and games. We will have cups for wine and tequila shots, but feel free to bring beer and ice and munchies. And absinthe.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I was tasked with picking up a tourist in Reno(never again virgin mistake). I got back late only to find the dome I had spent 2 days building was completely rocked by the first dust storm of the week. I will catch you next year though.

I missed it for the 2nd year in a row, Kinda bummin bout that. I was actually on my bike, enroute when my friends from New Orleans arrived just as I was peddling away to the MnG.
Timing, its all timing.

I really enjoyed the meet and greet this year. In years past it has been so crowded and crazy that it was hard to relax and even remember who I meeted and greeted. The dust storm had quite an effect on the party population and it was a managable group. Thanks to all the guests who braved to the storm to get to the party. I had a blast!

Yep, Sorry to report I missed due to the dust storm. I was holed
up on Boeal a block away due to dust and had a bit much to drink
at Happy Camp. I passed out on a chair and woke up several
hours after the Meet-Greet was over.

Met a number of you guys anyway at Booby Bar, BBdeath 7 wine
bar and at Apolikokia (sp).

I can't believe that I missed you guys. I was on my way out to the event, but I got on an art car going the wrong direction. By the time I realized my mistake, I was having too much fun and made a few new friends, so decided to stick it out for a while. I still missed meeting you and headed out that way later, only to find an empty bar... where I met a few more new friends... etc.

Is anyone planning on going to decompression? I met Bay Bridge Sue, but nobody else from here. I'd still love to meet y'all!

It's hard to have a normal conversation with someone with 6' acrylic rods strapped to your back.

I had every intention of being at the meet-n-grope, or whatever, and I'm not even sure HOW the hell I ended up so late (it was kinda' "over" by the time I got there)... freakin "playa time"... I was there in '04 and had a great time; here's to '08!
